Answer:
120
240
Step-by-step explanation:
We call the length of first part x
Length of second part = y
In the first scenario, it took the tortoise 110 sec to walk the first part and crawl the second.
So,
We have this equation,
x/4 + y/3 = 110
We take the LCM
(3x + 4y)/12 = 110
When we cross multiply
3x + 4y = 110x12
3x + 4y = 1320 ----- equation 1
For scenario 2
x/3 + y/4 = 100
When we take the LCM
(4x + 3y)/12 = 100
We cross multiply
4x + 3y = 100x12
4x + 3y = 1200 ------ equation 2
We now have two equations and we will solve for x and y using simultaneous linear equation.
3x + 4y = 1320 ----- 1
4x + 3y = 1200 ----- 2
We subtract equation 2 from 1 to get
- x + y = 120
We make y subject
y = x + 120 ----- 3
We put the value of y in equation 3 into equation 1
3x + 4(x + 120) = 1320
3x + 4x + 480 = 1320
7x + 480 = 1320
7x = 1320-480
7x = 840
We divide through by 7
x = 840/7
x = 120
We put value of x in equation 3
y = x + 120
y = 120 + 120
y = 240
120 and 240 are the lengths of the 2 parts of the journey.

Hi!
We will solve this using ratios, like this:
1 shelf holds 45 pounds
x shelves hold 270 pounds
______________________
x = (270*1)/45
x = 270/45
x = 6
6 shelves will be needed to hold 270 pounds of boxes.
Hope this helps!
We can take prime numbers so they don't have a common factor other than 1.
3, and 5.
So we have to list the multiples to find the LCM
3: 3, 6, 9, 12,
15, 18
5: 5, 10,
15, 20, 25
15 is the LCM of 3 and 5
So, you can notice that if two numbers, lets call them a and b, have no common factor, then

is the LCM.
Hope that helped :)
Answer:
7x^3 - 7x^2 + 35x
Step-by-step explanation:
7x(x^2-x+5)
7x^3-7x^2+35x
2.5 km because 1.5 is half of 3 and half of 5 is 2.5
